That's a take off of an old Rolling Stone magazine cover featuring Jim Morrison of the Doors which read: "He's Hot, He's Sexy and He's Dead."
That issue with Morrison came out Sept. 17th 1981 and the headline has been applied several times since then by various writers. It was a popular headline about Kurt Cobain after his death. In it's original it wasn't offensive, but, yeah, in an article about Randy it's offensive.
Why is it that no article about Randy can be written without at least a mention of "the tragic airplane accident"? Why can't there be a celebration of his life and accomplisments without haveing to comment on his death?
